I figured you'd choose Beijing, I know you like extremes,
your perfect climate is a place with a very cold winter and a very hot summer.
So for Beijing would be perfect if it had a Minneapolis winter
I see you put up a Billy Bishop AP climate graph
Billy Bishop AP is on an Island out in Lake Ontario,
a cooler micro climate than mainland Toronto.
That's like putting up a graph of climate data on an island in Lake Michigan (if there was one)
to represent Chicago.
Might as well use Burlington, ON climate data to represent Toronto
We are a technically a suburb and have warmer highs than Toronto itself.
Weather Sparks uses that site for Toronto. All I did was type Toronto and that station automatically popped up. I had no idea where it was located within TO.
So I went back to weather sparks and clicked on the map of Toronto. Isn't Pearson Airport the official station?
Here is the data that they present for Pearson (1982-2012)
Better than the Bishop sight, but a high of 27C in July is not ideal either for me.
Definitely Beijing, I can't imagine how cool does it feel when temperatures are still struggling in the 50s in Toronto in May. Although summers are a little bit hot and humid in Beijing, but the other 3 seasons are warmer and sunnier than Toronto.

I prefer Beijing. Much milder/warmer weather with more sunshine and less gloomy cloud cover/rain interrupting the period, unlike Toronto. And then you have a dramatic excitement with a switch into the hot, humid, and rainy monsoon cycle, unlike the more uneventful weather in Toronto. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that Beijing is a better version of humid continental than anywhere in North America and Europe.

Beijing can have sand storms in spring (just had one last week), something most Americans and Europeans have never experienced.
Beijing also has lots of thunder storms in summer (much more than in Boston at least).

Yes, those two elements add to the excitement of Beijing's regime compared to the counterparts in the US. Summer thunderstorms are one of my favorite features of subtropical-tropical climates, and I like the extension into Beijing. And while the dust-storms will suck for air-quality, they at least provide quite an interesting experience - and it signals the influence of cool-season aridity to the climate, which is much more preferable than cold, wet weather (imo).
